Notes

Eastman-Kodak Brownie Camera No. 2C model A, with No. 130 film. Additional information: The earliest city directory in which this business was found is the 1867 directory. It was listed as the W. W. Page Grocery. By 1872 it was listed as the W. W. and Benj Page Flour Mill. In 1890 it was called the Flour and Feed Store. After Mr. Page's death in 1913 it was, for some years, the "Cooperative Service." In the 1920's it was an antique store for a short time. By 1936 it was Koehler Tire and Battery and a service station. The gas pumps were located on the curb. The brand of gasoline was "Golden Tip." In the late 1940's it was Gale Kloepfer's Plumbing and Heating and in 1959 it was once again listed as a filling station. It was torn down in the early 1960's and by 1966 the Indiana Gas Company had built its offices on the site. There have been several businesses in the location since the gas company left there. It was, in the late 1990's, a shop called "The Birdhouse." Sources: City Directories; Mr. Louis Decar; Hiram Lemen; Madison Courier
